Home Theater Lounge will begin holding a live chat every Wednesday evening at 9pm Central. The goal is to get as many members online at the same time and just talk movies, music, and gear. You can join the chat by going to the Shoutbox app.

I haven't watched the video yet, but I actually enjoyed Jurassic World a bit more than the original movie. I had issues with Jurassic Park all the way back to its theatrical release. The movie defanged the book while Spielberg was in his kid friendly mode (Hook). Sure there were some good set pieces but I never got the sense of being in an actual dinosaur amusement mark.

Jurassic World was essentially a remake of the original with everything that was missing. Sure there were some silly "only in a movie" moments but it was all in fun. Despite the glossy production there is a bit of subversive commentary just beneath the surface.
